Is this a contest or something??
Not many for me. If a book doesn't hold my attention, then I can't get into it.
Hunchback of Notre Dame
Red Badge of Courage
Christmas Carol
The New Testament
The Hobbit
Lord of the Rings
(parts of) The Silmarillion
(dare I say?) Lolita
(parts of) Moby Dick
Of Mice and Men
(various) Edgar Allen Poe
...those are the ones I remember. There's probably more.

I have read 47 of the ones on the list.
Very disappointed that Fup was not on the list.
And nothing by Kurt Vonnegut, such as Slaughterhouse Five or God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater.

There are a lot more. I read a lot of these on my own (meaning not forced to for a class). Thought briefly about majoring in lit but couldn't think it would be that useful in real life.
Only one I needed Cliff's Notes for was War and Peace because that was a hard one to follow!
